are men who have been recruited from his constituency, Ablekuma South, Ablekuma

“I know those behind De-Eye Group. Fifty percent of them are recruited and close to 100 are from my constituency and so I know what I’m talking about.
“I know what these boys did to us in 2016. How they shot at us; how they destroyed NDC T’shirts, the impunity and how they went around shooting and firing in town. Even one of the guys they shot is dead,” he alleged on Joy News’ AM show Wednesday.
